Pride
Deadly sins entry14 total reviews
Comment from humpwhistle
I know this contest is all about sin, but I can name several examples of pride being an upraising emotion. Pride is not the opposite of humility.
Nor is a proud person lacking in humility. Jesus and Ghandi are but two examples of proud, yet humble men.
Sure, pride has a sinister side. But pride also has a noble side.
I know Scripture suggest differently. I consider that a fault in translation.
One man's thoughts.
Peace, Lee

Ciao mystery poet , I gave you your first vote .
First off I really love the pic you chose and the colour scheme.
I thought you did an excellent job in describing the negative aspects that surface when our pride gets the better of us.
The rhyming is top notch too.
I wish you the best in the contest!

Dear Y.M., Thank you for your comments and review.
Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
This is really good and you've summed up pride beautifully. It separates you from God because the bible says that He resists the proud. I enjoyed reading this well written and thought provoking work. Well done!
